Picking Up the Past

Gifts

That afternoon Arya, Mila and Vanessa, and newlyweds Tomy and Abel let Susanto and Miss Annisa go back to the village.

They stand in the lobes of the apartment to take off their loved ones.

"later when Mila lahiran we come here again” said Miss Annisa when one by one the children kissed her hands.

“keep your family well, remember our message first when in kampung” said Mr. Susanto looked firmly towards Tomy and Arya.

‘be a better husband than me, and be a better father than me’ that is the message of Mr. Susanto who is now on the shoulders of Arya and Tomy.

Mr. Susanto's car slowly left the apartment lobby. The five of them then immediately went up to Arya's apartment on the 15th floor.

"are you talking about Uncle Mil?” arya asked as the five of them were in the elevator.

“clothes aja Arya, where know can be used uncle to go to mosque” replied Mila briefly.

“ihh you cheated ya Mil, I should also give the gift to father and mother” said Abel who felt stabbed by Mila.

“your basics, the time in-laws go are not given anything” Mila said in a pressing tone. Abel immediately pushed Mila's body slowly because he was upset.

“your husband gave us a gift also not yet so, what do you want to be proud” seloroh Abel reply Mila.

Arya took a rough breath looking at Mila who glared at her. “houses already so Bel, it's just the same page workmanship flower garden, 2 weeks already finished really, really, the problem of the inside is your responsibility, our time is also filled with furniture” said Arya flatly.

“already, I do not want to talk to you, you hide such a big problem from me” Abel said with annoyance to Arya.

Arya took a rough breath, ever since she met Abel, the girl's face clearly implied annoyance to him. Hiding such a big thing would definitely lead to many different responses, including Abel's attitude to him.

The innocent girl did not seem to understand her position that was under threat. Not to mention Anjani who until that second has not shown any attitude.

Arriving at the apartment, they immediately headed for their respective rooms. Tomy laid her body in the room where Mr. Susanto and Ms. Annisa had been before. While Abel went straight to the kitchen to help Vanessa prepare dinner dishes. Assisted by Mila who helped prepare their cooking spices.

While Arya is busy with her work that is still piling up.

In between the busy he works, Arya's eyes are fixed on a plastic located on the nightstand near Mila used to sleep. “that's what?” muttered Arya slowly.

Because of his curiosity, he immediately got up to see the plastic. It contained a box coated with gift paper. “for my beloved husband” the writing was on the gift paper.

Arya immediately opened it, she saw a light blue shirt suit with a dark blue tie. Arya smiled “it looks like Rita no longer needs to buy my work clothes” murmured slowly. He got up and tried the shirt.

“like no?” mila's voice suddenly startled Arya,

“you bought it for me?” asked Arya flatly.

“bukn, you can not read it for who” said Mila ketus teasing her husband.

Arya smiles at Mila, “iya I know, I'm your beloved husband”

Mila smiled happily behind her veil, she then approached Arya, and pinched her husband's arm softly in embarrassment at her husband's words, "yeah, you care to say it"

"who would your beloved husband be if not me"

"iyaa, you are my beloved husband" he said with a faint laugh, because he felt guilty saying it.

“do you want what gift from me?, later I buy” said Arya casually.

“iihh, the time to give gifts was asked first sih”

Arya smiled thinly, she was confused what to say to his wife, ‘did I buy jewelry again?’ his inner.

Mila then opened the closet door and took out the suit she had bought.

“this is Arya's suit" said Mila trying to match the suit with Arya's body. “you must be cool wearing it” muttered Mila slowly.

“iya dong, my dear wife who bought it” said Arya tried to hold the suit material, she then gave a short kiss on his wife's forehead, Mila's smile immediately expands because of her husband's attitude.

“I was going to buy a watch too, I just knew that the watch was as expensive as that”, Mila said slowly.

Arya glanced at his wife's eyes looking down in lethargy, She remembered that Mila was not wearing a watch either. It is fitting that his wife does not know what the price of a famous brand watch is.

“ expensive watches that not only sell the quality of Mil, but also the value of its history” said Arya explained.

“iya, not just materials and quality, but also the historical value of the brand itself” explained Arya again.

“before I want to buy a cheap watch, but will not match you, the time of the owner of Adinata group makai cheap goods” muttered Mila.

Arya then saw in her eyes to his wife, she immediately hugged Mila tightly.

"the greatest gift of my life is you, and also our little angel” he said kissing the crown of Mila.

Mila closed her eyes, enjoying Arya's hug on her body.

“do you think we need to visit Grandpa Mil?” arya asked, still hugging Mila.

“kakek called me,” replied Mila “kakek said we should stay away from Arya's grandfather and mother, including from home, grandfather also asked us to stay here first, first, maybe Ardian bang who will be here to visit us” explained Mila in a slow tone

“ya already, so we stay here first until safe”

“actually what is the situation now Arya?, I really do not understand what happened, is it as important as it is so that we can not meet grandfather and go home to our own home?”

Arya closed her eyes, she was confused to explain what kind of complicated problems she was facing, “do not make it a burden on Mil's mind, follow my words and grandfather's words, do not make it a burden, we face this together until everything is done, trust me, it won't be long before we defeat them”

Arya's answer is still gray for Mila, he again remembered the chat from Arnes, the message he could not ignore just like that. Her heart was still anxious about her husband's safety.

*

The sunny morning of the day was different in the Adinata group, 2 luxurious black cars walked quickly towards the magnificent building. 2 The car stopped in the company lobby, and several people got out of the car.

Aliando who just arrived in his room was drinking warm coffee while thinking about the steps he would take.

Suddenly the door of his room opened, Hardi went inside with a face full of anger.

“I have warned you this from the beginning, the Gibran people are not random” Hardi said in a high tone to Aliando.

“don't blame me like this,”

Hardi drew near to Aliando, eyes full of anger.

“you destroy me, this engagement will no longer have value in the eyes of shareholders”

Aliando rubbed his hair rough, Arya's problem has made his head dizzy, Rena also continues to pursue the problem of embezzlement that he did, now Hardi also makes his head feel broken.

“I'll wipe the boy off” muttered Aliando quietly.

Hardi pulled Aliando's collar “there's nothing you can do right now, I already know your power isn't as big as you'd expect after that shareholder's meeting, Rena has been restraining you with your stupidity to embezzle company” funds

“I know Haris is now taking over your influence for the son of Gibran, what else will you defend?” tanya said Hardi still with emotion.

Aliando closed his eyes, “don't emotions like this Hardi, if you're emotional, we can both be destroyed” said Aliando coldly.

Hardi took off Aliando's collar. He took a deep breath to calm his emotions.

“I am looking for where Arya lives, I am also investigating what kind of company she works for, and I already know who his wife” mumbled Aliando.

“you mean?”

“yesterday at the press conference there were 9 people guarding him in addition to the bodyguard Adinata group, it will be very difficult to get rid of him” said Aliando. “his wife is from the family of Rakarsa, I met them yesterday, I have met them, and obviously they're on the boy's side”

“you're going after his wife?”

“one by one they will get rid of, getting rid of Rena and Haris is very difficult now, it can attract the attention of the board of commissioners and shareholders if we disturb them, likewise with Arya” explained Aliando who has studied the situation.

“this is an open battle Hardi, we have to play smart and clever here, we attack from those closest to him, so he will submit himself” said Aliando cynically.

“you've lost, yesterday's press conference was a crushing blow to you, I can already predict your future"

"even if you kill the child and his people, you will still get nothing, the stock will fall to the family of the Rakarsa, he said, and you will be increasingly cornered by the shareholders of” said Hardi who increasingly makes the head of Aliando heat up.

Aliando had thought hard to find a way out of the problem, but everything seemed dark, Aryan presence was a big boomerang for his power.
